ICE-CREAM-IDISI-IING DEVICE.

Application led May 15,

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, RAY Dinos EMMoNs, a citizen of the United States, residing at ishlanch in the county of Ashland and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Ice-Cream--Dishing Device, of which the following is a specification.

rlhe object of my invention is to provide a novel dishing device adapted for the rapid handling of icecream in containers to customers in quantities corresponding to the conventional size of cartonsq that is;1 pints, quarts, etc.; and to provide a device which permits of handling the ice cream in a sanitary mannen and without waste of the cream. I attain these and other objects of my invention by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section through a can ofice cream into which my device has been inserted andfrom. which it is just beginning to be withdrawn, showing how it is used; y

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line 2--2 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of my device; and

Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the detached circular end cap or covering 6,

Like characters of reference indicate lilfie i parts in each of the views.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, I provide a preferably round barrel 1 of any suitable material. preferably metak having a handle 2, atlixed to itv` the handle having opposite inwardly extending projections 5 adapted to engage the bottom 4- of a pastehoard or similar carton 3.

I provide a cap or end coveringr 6 consisting` of a circular outer wall 7 which is tapered toward and integral with the spaced inner wall 8. The space 9 between the walls 7 and 8 is sufficient to receive the lower end of the barrel 1 and of the carton 3 in the manner illustrated in Fig. 1. The outer wall 7 of cap 6 is provided with preferably opposite bayonet slots 12 adapted to receive correspondingly positioned studs orprojections to temporarily lock the member 6 to the barrel 1, as shown in Fig 1. The circular y end cap 6 is provided' rift i wire or rod .the time required to lill 1924. serial No. 713,577.

1 1 affixed to and extending between opposite 'portions of the inner wall 8, approximately as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. i

In using the device7 cap 6 is detached from barrel 1 and a carton' is inserted in the barrel until its bottom portion 4 abuts against the projections 5. The cap 6 is then applied and the projections 13 are engaged in the bayonet slots .12 locking the circular cap 6 to the barrel 1. Thedevice is then plunged in the ice cream to its full length,' filling the carton 3. Thereupon the device is rotated by the handle 2, a rigid cross-wire or rod 11 extending between opposite p0rtions ofinner wall 8 of the cap 6 functioning to cut the ice cream so that the cake or mass of ice cream contained within carton 3 will be withdrawn along with the carton when barrel 1 is withdrawn from the mass of ice cream I in the freezer or can C.

The device fills the carton without waste of cream and in a perfectly sanitary way. Five cartons can be filled with the device in one quart carton by the conventional prior modes of procedure.

Walls 8` and 9 of the end cap 6 are very thin, the wall 8 being only about one-sixteenth of the width or thickness of the wall of carton 3. -What I claim is y i 1. In an ice cream dishing device, the combination of an open ended cylinder having a bail handle aiixed at diametrically opposite points onthe cylinder,v saidbail having inwardly extending projections to limit the movement of a carton `in the cylinder` whereby to permit the facilitation of the y ejection of thefilled carton.

2. In an ice cream dishing device the combination of an open ended cylinden a bail attached to one end of the cylinder. inwardly extending projections at the same end o f the cylinder adapted to limit the movement of a carton in the cylinder.y a detachable double walled cap engageable over the other end of the cylinder, said cap having a sharp circular cutting edge alined with the inner wall of the cap and a cross rod on the cap, substantially as shown.
